Where's the Relaxation?

bf2 for me was actually (believe it or not) too big even on 64 player servers... but tbh, on bf2, i didnt care about stats... CoD4 was made for different syles of gamers, you just have to look into the game to find that style u like, fast & furious, slow & calm, etc... change settings and mess stuff around and youll get it...

I play on small servers (20-) and can still find it very hectic to the point where it is unplayable...

I also played BF2/CSS with smaller player sizes, simply because it gave you more freedom. I'm not "looking" for relaxation, just more freedom - best way I can put it.

I have played one one or two servers with over 20 men, and I tend to do better. but way to nuts for me. I like the under 20 servers.

I loaded up CS a couple days ago just to play a bit. I had quit playing CS a long time ago, and it amazed me at how slow the game felt compared to Call of Duty. That being said, CoD is more relaxing for me, because it's so chaotic. I can bundle myself up in it and own noobs. Very cathartic.

This is why I think CoD4 and BF2 make a great couple when it comes to games. They're both complete opposites of each other and you could keep playing them for the next few years and never get bored.

When I play BF2 and start getting bored, I load up cod4. Once I go back to BF2, it feels like a new experience. and vice-versa

BF2 is my relaxation game where I can just sit there on the top of gulf of oman crane for the whole round and get some kills. When I need some faster-than-karkand gameplay, I play cod4. :)

I actually find myself switching between COD4 and BF2 each week, simply cause of the same reason. COD4 is really fast-paced while BF2 is a much more relaxed sort of FPS.

Mind you, both games are fun in their own regards, but I just can't stay in that same mood for a long time.

Well, I feel this is more prominent in Call of Duty 4 than any other game. I find that, unlike games such as Battlefield 2/Crysis/WiC, it's extremely difficult to play CoD4 with any mindset other than to dominate.

Let me explain myself. In Call of Duty, I can't put on my music, join a server, and expect to have freedom to play how I'm feeling. Example: I come home from school and just want to play a nice game - but it's often impossible because I'm constantly having to put in 100% of my focus to avoid being constantly killed. This gets especially frustrating with the spawns - I'll spawn, get killed, repeat - and the vicious cycle begins to play on my nerves.

Now, this isn't frustration to the max - where I'm all angry and what not - but it's just that I can't seem to play the game at different paces - something that I felt I had more freedom to do (by the way, please no responses of "go back to the other game then you n00b) - Call of Duty is an amazing game and I love playing it [most of the time] but I just wish there were a way to play it at a less competitive pace.

Does anybody else feel the same?

Thats what happens when you scrim me... No relaxation or freedom.:dead: Haha:laugh: (Inside Joke)
